We wanted to let our staff know...Thanks for all that you do! We had a conversation with Professor Gary Dentino from Rowan, who teaches the class for our Practicum students. He was so impressed with the quality teaching at Mennies, and he was very moved by the positive interactions he witnessed between teachers and students. He could not say enough positive things about our classrooms.

Words of Wisdom
Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country's cause. Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field.
~ Abraham Lincoln
With something to think about . . .Let us be grateful to every man and woman who bravely dons a military uniform, leaves home and family, and then risks his or her life and health to protect our own. To those who sacrifice their safety for ours and endure danger and discomfort so that we may live our comfortable lives, we are truly grateful. And how do we put that gratitude into action? We teach our youngest citizens to honor our brothers and sisters in the armed forces, to care for those who care for us, and to never take for granted the sacrifices they have made.
Remember to take care of yourself.
Veterans Day is a good reminder to us to tally up all the daily events we enjoy, thanks to our freedom, and to express gratitude to those who protect it.
